Sympathy Flowers

DonnaM. Risner, age 88, a resident of Shelby went home to be with the Lord Friday morning March 30, 2012.

Born February 4, 1924 in Shelby to Clinton and Sarah (Clark) Cooper, she had been a lifelong Shelby resident. A 1942 graduate of Shelby High School, she had been employed at Shelby Salesbook Company, retiring in 1979.

Donna's favorite pastime was to hunt through antique shops and garage sales searching for special treasures for her home and family. She enjoyed crocheting afghans and making quilts as gifts for loved ones. Donna was well known for her incredible memory and never forgot a name or face.

Survivors include two sons and one daughter-in-law, Raymond C. and Geraldine Risner of Bellville and R. Scott Risner of Shelby; one daughter, Margie L. Taylor of Shelby; one step-daughter and son-in-law, Faye and Bill Whechel of Marion, Indiana; 14 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Risner in 2005 and daughter, Sue Elliott in 2002.

Graveside services will be held at 11:00 AM, Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at Oakland Cemetery with Chaplain Lee Beer officiating. Calling hours will not be observed. Memorial expressions may be made to the American Cancer Society on behalf of Donna, a grateful cancer survivor.
